The Seven Virtues: Justice

Hans Burgkmair

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black-and-white drawing of a woman representing Justice. She is standing on a platform with her feet shoulder-width apart and is barefoot. The woman is wearing a short, off-the-shoulder top with puffy sleeves and a long skirt gathered at the waist. She has armor on her upper arms, upper chest, and upper legs, and her hair is pulled back in a half-ponytail. The woman is holding a long sword with her right hand and a round shield with the scales of justice in her left hand. The scales have two plates hanging from either side. The woman's head is turned to her right. Above her is a curved line of text that reads "DIE GERECHTIGKEIT". Under her feet is the text "HB". The background is off-white and textured.
